    3. Now that someone has brought up this lineage. I would like to know how researchers have claimed that Charlotte Sayer/Bechanokwetokwe who was married to Shaweno/Kewainze and had a daughter, Charlotte, in 1828 could be the same Charlotte that was married to my Isadore Lacaille. The only names I have found for my Charlotte (and documented) are Pemoussa and Marche. She was the daughter of a Fox Chief in Wisconsin. Her mother was Kickapoo. She was 20 years old on the 1836 Treaty Census making her birth ca 1816. How could she have a daughter in 1828 with Shawano? I cannot find who researched this information and posted the information on the net of my Charlotte having 3 marriages, one of which is mentioned in the message. Jim please help. This cannot be the same person. I want to see documents of those marriages. I believe someone is confusing the two Charlotte's. Anita ----- Original Message ----- From: "James P.
